Trips Versus Trips Unlucky for Valdes
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Carlos Valdes had to say goodbye to a big portion of his chips in a cooler versus Brownie Garrett.
The board was 10♣10♦Q♥4♠5♣ and Garrett made it 15,000 on the river into a pot of about 19,500. Valdes called and Garret showed A♦10♠ for trip tens with an ace kicker.
Valdes muttered to himself, visibly disappointed, and showed the table J♣10♥ for trips with a worse kicker. The pot of 54,000 chips went to Garrett, who now sits on a comfortable stack of 125 big blinds.
